Z-horses jumping out in Morocco

09 / 10 / 2017

In the three star event of Tetouan in Morocco the Zangersheide-registered top-classers stole the show. Especially the podium for the main class was largely coloured blue-yellow. Coline Pijnvenhof Z (by Colman), bred by Karel van Bael, jumped into second place. She did so under Dominique Hendrickx who was closely followed by Karim El Zoghby. For the conclusive main class this Egyptian operating from the Netherlands had saddled Caveman DH Z (by Cardento) bred by Toby Huys to finish third in the Grand Prix.

Earlier there had also been Z success in the 1.35m class that was won by Topper Z (by Tristan R.P., breeder F.G Koopman) ridden by the Italian Roberto Turchetto.

In the Birmingham Horse of the Year Show Zira van het Kapelhof Z (by Zurich) claimed victory in the 1.45m class. With this achievement the Irish Anthony Condon placed the breeding product from Gert Nicolai fully in the limelight on the opening day. At the same level this year they also scored top five placings during the Oswestry Scope Festival and in the five star event of Dinard.
